Abstract
A novel patch antenna with a fractal boundary condition is proposed. Experi mental and numerical results corroborate the fact that the fractal characte ristic of the perimeter produces localised modes. This property is utilised in the design of a microstrip patch antenna with a measured directivity of 12.7dB.
